If you are looking at being a football coach in Thailand or a coach for other sports then you need to apply for a Thai Business Visa first. Much like the religious visa you need to obtain certain documents first before you can apply.

Firstly you need to obtain a letter form a Sports Authority of Thailand in order to be a professional coach in Thailand. This is very difficult to obtain and you will need this letter before you can apply for a business visa then a work permit as a professional coach. The documents needed at the Thai embassy are as follows:

Application for visa; (TM.87)

Copy of passport;

4 X 6 cm. Photograph;

Application fee;

Letter from Sport Authority of Thailand;

A certified copy of Established Organization License.

As listed you need to obtain the letter from the Sport Authority of Thailand then you also need a letter from the organisat6ion who will be employing you for the task as a coach while in Thailand. The contact details for the Sports Authority of Thailand has been listed below.
